Post-Abortive Mother: Abortion will “bring about devastation that you had no idea could exist”

August 21, 2013 (LiveActionNews) – In her early twenties and just out of college Jill Marquis thought marriage seemed like the thing to do. But after a couple of years, she found herself feeling dejected. After beginning an affair, she soon discovered she was pregnant.

Marquis went on with her life, catching a flight to New York City the very next day for work. Her marriage ended and she eventually married the man she had an affair with. The pain over her decision to have an abortion did not truly surface until she became pregnant with her next child.

“Nobody told me,” she explains, “that it might come back to you when you have the ultrasound of the children you want to have. There I was looking at this ultrasound of the baby growing inside me and [I was] screaming in my mind that that was a baby you aborted. A baby that you killed. I stuffed it down for a very long time and tried to silence that voice.  Looking back on that decision it was the most selfish thing I ever did in my life because it was all about me wanting to live life on my terms.

Through a series of events, Marquis was introduced to Surrendering the Secret, a post-abortive study and support group. Marquis decided that she wanted to bring this ministry to her church and she approached her pastor about it.  Along with a counselor and another post-abortive woman, Marquis was able to experience the study and began to realize that most of her adult issues came back to her abortion and to the frame of mind that many things in life are disposable. What should be sacred is not sacred, from relationships and marriage to our own children. She credits Surrendering the Secret with saving her because it completely changed the trajectory of her life.

Why I Am a Young Woman Who Opposes Abortion and Planned Parenthood
In my early 20’s, I was four months into a relationship and found myself pregnant. I was raised with sound values from family and church, yet felt alone as I was thousands of miles away from home while attending college. I felt incredible shame that if family and friends knew of the choices I’d made, they’d be let down.

This led me on a path of self-doubt that I did not know was possible. Fear is what it all comes down to, and I have learned that fear is distortion that masks itself in many forms more often than not.

Pro-Life Artist: “I Want to Put the Message of Love Before Anything Else”

Washington, DC | 8/19/13 6:15 PM

While on a field trip to the Indiana State Museum with her biology teacher during her freshman year of high school, Alyx Kopie saw a video on human life from conception until death that changed her life.

Some of her work has even received awards, including “Viva Y Amor” which won an honorable mention in the Scholastic Art Awards. This is welcome news to Kopie who hopes her work can help educate pro-choicers. She says:

I’m all about the healing of women who have suffered from abortion, not to judge or attack anyone. I want to put a message of love before anything else.

You can view Kopie’s work on her website.  She’s also planning to open a shop on Etsy soon.

Help LifeNews Expose the Planned Parenthood Obamacare Slush Fund

Dear LifeNews.com Readers,

When Congress passed the Affordable Care Act, known more commonly as Obamacare, pro-life groups warned that abortion funding would be a component of the health care reform law.

Now, the beginning of that funding is coming to pass as the Obamacare exchange in Washington, D.C. announced recently it is sending $375,000 in taxpayer funds to the Planned Parenthood abortion business.

After that, three more local affiliates of the Planned Parenthood abortion business indicated they are getting hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxpayer funding from the federal government to promote Obamacare.

There is now more than $1 million in taxpayer funds going to the nation’s biggest abortion business to promote Obamacare. So far…

This is happening despite the fact that Planned Parenthood does more abortions than anyone in the United States, despite the fact that Planned Parenthood has engaged in a coverup of statutory rape, despite the fact that it injures and kills women in abortions, despite the fact that it has engaged in tens of millions of dollars in Medicaid fraud, and despite the fact that it went to special meetings with top Obama administration officials and President Obama himself to put Obamacare in place and get this taxpayer-funded slush fund.
